This bag is extremely well padded. I have taken it to Disney World and DROPPED it while hurriedly exiting a moving ride (people movers) and all of my electronics survived the fall in perfect condition.

This bag has been to the beach, soccer field, pool, you name and we've done it. Just dust it off and head off to your next adventure. I have had this bag for nearly 3 years and it shows no signs of wear. The blue area of the bag is starting to get a little grungy looking but nothing that can't be easily cleaned.

I love all the extra compartments. The removable/adjustable center divider in the main compartment is excellent for making room for all of your small electronics. I have discovered that with a little clever packing I can fit my camcorder, 6 minidv tapes, audio/video cables, camcorder charger, digital camera (a LARGE old one), APS camera, spare batteries, digital memory card reader, and 4 rolls APS film into the bag. (Keep in mind, my camcorder is a fairly small MiniDV camcorder. Measure your camcorder to be sure this bag will be large enough for your equipment.)

For wearing comfort it has a nice padded carrying handle and adjustable, nylon webbing, shoulder strap. The bag itself is so lightweight that you hardly notice it is there, yet it is providing exceptional protection to your camcorder. Another winner from the people at Samsonite.

This camera bag is really great. Really the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it's actually a little TOO big. I can fit my digital camera AND my video camera (and it's not even one of those new tiny ones) and still have plenty of room for extra bags and cards and cords, etc. It's really great for toting it all, but if you are trying to go with the bare essentials, this is certainly not the bag for you.

This bag is a good size for my Panasonic Palmcorder. Holds the camera, a few tapes, the instruction booklet, and a spare battery. Just not enough room to really fit the charger. Overall, though, it met my expectations and I feel it was worth it.

I purchased the Samsonite Worldproof Intermidiate Camcorder bag a couple of days ago from another well know e-store, I found the bag to be suprisingly worldproof, it is well designed, with plenty of padding and enough room to fit my sony TRV58 handycam and Hewlett Packard c200 digital camera along with my NiMH baterry recharger and the camcorder adapters. The worldproof sign does not appear on the bag contrary to the picture up above, I like that, the worldproof logo would seem a bit redundant. The bag is very strong and looks like it can take a beating or two, which is great for me since we get alot of rain down here in Puerto Rico. Samsonite also gives you a lifetime warranty, so you can't go wrong.

This bag has enough space for still, video camera, a small compact tripod, power charging cords and all other cords, mini DVs. However the outer look and quality of the bag is same as any other bag which you can buy under $10. Bieng samsonite brand I had expected to have outstanding look and outer finish. However it is just an ordinary quality bag which you can pick up in wall mart for lot less price.
